What we know so far about Morocco borders reopening
In a recent tweet from the country’s flag carrier, Royal Air Maroc, the easing of Morocco travel restrictions will apply to all visa-exempt countries and territories. The list includes Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, as well as South Korea, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and all EU member states.
Foreign visitors must comply with health and safety measures, such as wearing face masks in public places. However, their government has yet to release a complete list of Morocco entry requirements. As of writing, their requirements include the standard proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, a Public Health Passenger form, and a negative RT-PCR test result.
